Quotes:

  • [After punching Merrick.]
    Buffy: Oh, wow. I, I, never hit anyone before.
    Merrick: Really? Well you did it perfectly.
    Buffy: I didn't even break a nail.
     
  • Amilyn: We're immortal, Buffy. We can do anything.
    Buffy: Oh yeah? Clap.
     
  • [The Coach is having the last pep-talk with his team, pointing at a piece of paper with an infinity-sign, some male / female symbols and the eye inside the pyramid]
    Coach: ...therefore, if we all work together, together we'll work out. Are you with me? Get out there! All right! Score some... eh... points! Hey, you missed practice again today! I think you better sit down and think about how that made me feel...
     
  • Nicole: You got a C-plus? I can't believe I cheated off of you.
    Buffy: Excuse me for not knowing about El Salvador, like I'm ever going to Spain anyway.
     
  • Gary: I have detention slips here and I'm not afraid to use them.
     

Trivia:

  • Buffy's last name is never mentioned in the movie. Not until the release of the series was she referred to as Buffy Summers.
     
  • Ben Affleck appears as an extra (a basketball player).
     
  • Seth Green, the only person in the movie to be in the spin-off show, was cut from the movie, but still appears on the video cover.
     
  • In the original version of the script, Merrick committed suicide to escape being turned into a vampire by Lothos, who wanted to know the Slayer's identity so he could kill her.
     

Credits Fun:

  • TV interviews with people at the dance that were attacked by vampires.
     
  • Amilyn revives to go through some more death throes.
